You could use math.ceil().
local num = math.ceil()

That rounds up to 1 even if the number is, say, 0.3. That's not technically rounding.

I would downvote this answer, but it's not entirely inaccurate (and there's a chance it is what he was looking for).

It IS the answer to his question. math.ceil() rounds up instead of down like math.floor(). If he asked how to round to nearest number, then that would be a different story.

math.floor(num + 0.5)
If this helped, be sure to put [Solved] in the title so that people know you don't need any more help.
You can also use string.format to round to any place: local function round(x, n) return tonumber(string.format("%."..n.."f", x)) end
Aether, > = math.floor(0.5) = 0, math.ceil(0.5) = 1
you're forgetting about ceil
Did you actually read my comment...?
math.floor(0 + 0.5) -> 0, math.floor(0.2 + 0.5) -> 0, math.floor(0.5 + 0.5) -> 1, and, finally, math.floor(0.9 + 0.5) -> 1.
It works exactly as math.round would work if it existed (math.floor(num + 0.5), that is).
